Chillin'Out Guest Farm is all about appreciating the look on a child's face when they feed donkeys and milk cows, or the love amongst family and friends over a hot loaf of freshly baked bread and creamy milk. This hidden gem is a must visit!

Dear Guest,
Welcome to Chillin’ Out. We are a self catering guest farm focusing on self sufficiency and quality of life. We look forward to you sharing this piece of paradise with us during your stay. Your hosts are Ivor and Ingrid Dickson.
We are nestled at the foot of the Outeniqua mountains and are a couple of hundred metres from the Knysna State Forest (home to elephants, wild cats including leopard and a lot more flora and fauna).
We are 25 kms from Sedgefield and halfway between George and Knysna. For sightseeing and activities, the entire stretch between Mosselbay and Plettenburg bay is in easy travelling distance for day trips.
The apartment is a spacious (100sqm) flat situated on top of the barn. It has the best view in the entire suburb of the forest and mountains. The sunrise and star gazing is unbeatable from the deck which has patio furniture to seat 6.
There are 2 bedrooms, a bathroom (shower only), a reading nook and open plan kitchen, dining room and lounge.
The main bedroom has a queen bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers. The second bedroom has 2 single beds, but a third bed can be installed if necessary. A cupboard is also available.
All facilities required for self catering are available in the kitchen. Also provided are towels, linen, electric blankets and a braai.
We are a self sufficient farm with just enough livestock to provide for our needs. As a result, we can afford the time to spoil our animals so they are extremely tame and used to human interaction.
We have sheep, a couple of cows (and the occasional calf) and chickens. Included in our menagerie are 3 donkeys (Choccie, Bella and Eeyore) that are the sweetest girls and enjoy being fed apples and carrots.
There are a number of activities for you/your kids at Chillin’ Out. We welcome your interest and will love to share a farming experience with you.
The schedule is:
(PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) Grooming donkeys, letting out sheep and chickens
(PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) Milking cows in the barn (all milking is done by hand. Come and try it!)
10:30 – 16:30 General farm activities, depending on the weather
16:30 – Cows, donkeys, chickens and sheep are put to bed (collect your own eggs!)
We are 20 minutes from Sedgefield beaches, watersports, fishing and entertainment. Make sure you take plenty of sunscreen with you!
Every Saturday is the Farmers Market in Sedgefield (next to the Engen Garage just outside of Sedgefield going towards George). It is open from 07:30 – 13:00. Enjoy!
Included in the price is a daily, freshly baked loaf of bread and creamy milk from the morning’s milking. Please note that our milk is unpasteurised but extremely clean.
We look forward to seeing you!

We stayed at Ingrid's the week end prior Christmas and we were welcome ... like her own family. Ingrid has been an incredible host, from booking to when we left. The booking was easy. Ingrid was available and answered any question we may have had. She sent us very precise directions and finding the farm was very easy. We arrived at bed time for the animals and Ingrid kindly invited us to share the experience - same in the morning with milking for example (despite us sleeping over and missing the date!). Ingrid made us feel home and we were warmly welcomed. We even had the luxury of fresh milk and fresh bread. Just great! All pictures were very accurate and the house is a fantastic place to stay. We enjoyed the luxury of green, silence, the farm. Bedding is also very comfortable. We left on Sunday to continue on our route to family for Christmas, and staying at Ingrid's was definitely the first gift of our holidays! We can only strongly recommend to stay at her farm. Thank you again Ingrid for the great stop over in paradise!

Noémie & Louis2015-12-20T00:00:00Z

We had a great experience at Ingrid's farm. The accommodation above the barn (where the animals sleep!) was unique. The fresh homemade bread and milk everyday was awesome. My three girls loved milking the cows and looking after the animals...especially the 3 donkeys. The setting is very quiet and remote which enhances the experience. We had a lovely time and would certainly return in the future

Craig2016-03-30T00:00:00Z

I am reluctant to write this review and let the secret out. Chillin’Out can truly be described as a tiny piece of paradise. The farm is a true gem and an absolute must for anyone wanting a fairy-tale farm experience. The rooster announces the new day and a little while later Ingrid arrives with a delicious freshly baked loaf of bread. Ingrid is happy to share all the farm activities with her guests, from milking the cows, to collecting eggs, to brushing the donkeys. We were urgently summoned one afternoon as one of the sheep had just given birth to twin lambs – what an amazing experience. The farm is a delight and the animals are obviously loved and very well cared for – the 3 donkeys with their gorgeous soft lips are real characters and are spoilt each morning with a basket of apples and carrots. The cozy apartment above the barn has everything you need to feel just like home. Ingrid is a wonderful host and made us feel very welcome. I would highly recommend a visit to Chillin’Out.

Jonny2016-12-13T00:00:00Z

We have stayed in many Airbnb's around the world, and Ingrid is by far the most warm, attentive and generous host ever! Everything was perfect from start to end, the farm is magical and clearly built with love. We loved to be part of the farm life, spend time with the animals, get to know how everything is done. Ingrid gave us fresh baked bread every morning (delicious!), fresh milk, eggs, and access to organic vegetables and fruits. We really felt like we were part of the farm. She was on hand to help and really took care of us. We highly recommend staying with Ingrid, if you want to have the most wonderful time staying at a farm and experiencing all it's joys! We can't wait to return. Thank you so much!

Arunima 2017-01-03T00:00:00Z

Ingrid is a wonderful host! Our two kids loved following her around doing the farm chores. We harvested veggies from her beautiful organic garden for soup and salads. The kids enjoyed being up close to the sheep, donkeys, cows, chickens, and sweet yellow lab. Beds were super comfy and warm. We are so grateful for this special farm experience.

Tatyana2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

Chillin' Out is a little piece of secluded out-of-the-rat-race heaven. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and our little boy loved the farm experience. The accommodation is well equipped, lovely and clean, with crisp, fresh linen on the very comfy beds. Ingrid was a delightful host, always patient with our little one, even when he smashed her eggs by accident. The fresh milk and bread were the highlight of our mornings and sunset views from the terrace the highlight of our evenings. We were lucky enough to have two lambs born during our stay too! We can highly, highly recommend the farm to anyone wanting a taste of the good life or needing a break from the hum-drum.

Collette2016-12-26T00:00:00Z

In picturesque beautiful scenery located farm that is well equipped and leaves no wishes left. Super friendly hosts who were super helpful and every wish have gladly fulfilled. They brought every morning even homemade bread, fresh eggs and fresh milk for breakfast. Not only for animal lovers an absolutely unforgettable experience. Despite the remoteness of an absolutely super equipped and beautifully furnished apartment. I do not know what would have better may be.

Daniel2016-03-16T00:00:00Z

This is one of the best experiences we have had with Airbnb (and all previous ones have been good!) The location is out of this world beautiful. It's calm, the animals are friendly, and there is tons to do in the surrounding area. The children had a great time being little farmers. Ingrid brought us fresh baked bread every morning. There was fresh milk as well. The shower was amazing. We were there in the winter and had fabulous warm duvets and electric blankets. This is an amazing place to stay either as a family, on a romantic get-away or for a working retreat. I can't wait to come back!

Sonja2017-01-02T00:00:00Z

Very cosy place in a peaceful, eco-friendly location. Very close to central Knysna, but it didn't feel like it at all, you could even hear some owls on the roof at night. They are very friendly hosts and would love to go back there one day.

Johannes2017-02-09T00:00:00Z

What a beautiful place on earth! We spent five magic days here. Would definitely recommend this place for everyone staying in Knysna, especially families with a baby. Just perfect!

Sören2017-03-30T00:00:00Z

We had such a relaxed and fun time staying at Colleens place - it really is off-grid but with every mod-con you could wish for. I loved the homely touches such as the open fire, magazines and boiling water on the stove. We had such a lovely evening chilling in front of the fire. You will need a car to stay here, but it's so worthwhile. It's less than 10-minutes to all the shops and restaurants you would need. And the bed was super comfortable. All-in-all, one of the best stops on our garden route trip!

Stephen2017-04-19T00:00:00Z

Very cute little place and highly recommendable! It is a tastefully furnished, quiet and very clean location and Colleen and Ghislin are very attentive hosts who make you feel welcome!!

Maja2017-03-04T00:00:00Z

It was lovely to stay at this little apartment. We especially enjoyed the kitchen area with vintage things in it and a view to the garden. It is peaceful out there and the hosts are very friendly and approachable.

Michaela2017-04-03T00:00:00Z

We can only confirm what has already been said: Colleen and Gishlin are wonderful hosts, very courteous, interested and helpful concerning activities around Knysna. The rooms are wonderfully spacious and quiet and the kitchen fully equipped. We didn't miss anything and just felt like being at home. Thank you for the wonderful time!!!

Melina2017-01-16T00:00:00Z

Chris and Andy made us feel very welcome. The view from the verandah (overlooking Belvedere) is breathtaking. The self catering flatlet where we stayed is ideal.... spacious, luxurious and very private with own entrance. Our interaction with the hosts was great. We were offered coffee and drinks on arrival and got to know each other. We often stay over in Knysna and cannot imagine more suitable accommodation.

Nelius2016-06-10T00:00:00Z

Chris and Andy were perfect hosts. They were so kind and welcoming, very attentive hosts. We had a great conversation regarding our different cultures and it was very interesting. Their house is just amazing with a wonderful view. The accommodation is provided with all you need. Clean, tidy and comfortable. The house is easy to encounter and at a few minutes from town centre by car. We only stayed one night and would have spend more time here! Thanks a lot!

Johline2016-07-04T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful 3 night stay in Knysna in this beautiful accommodation. The apartment was immaculately clean and well equipped with everything you could need. We found cereal, milk, tea, coffee and a bottle of wine, water and juice in the fridge, as well as all the basic toiletries you would need in the bathroom. The apartment was also well stocked with plenty of towels and the bed was extremely comfortable. The view from the balcony was beautiful over the lagoon and anyone staying there should definitely wander through the garden to enjoy sunset over the lagoon. Merceda and Geoff were warm and welcoming hosts and made us feel very much at home. The Belvidere estate is very pretty and a perfect location to enjoy both Brenton on Sea and Knysna. We ate at The Bell pub twice during the stay and enjoyed the food and atmosphere there. All in all, this accommodation is highly recommended for a stay in Knysna.

What a wonderful serene tranquil getaway. The view is definitely picture perfect. Merceda and Geoff are wonderful hosts and are super helpful and friendly. Will definitely be returning.

Manya2017-01-16T00:00:00Z

We had a very nice stay at Helga and Peter. The apartment is very spacious, clean and well equipped. Fresh flowers were from the garden in every room. We spent most of our time on the beautiful balcony. Right next door was also a small playground-even with a Banyschaukel-it left nothing to be desired. The property is highly recommended!

Quiet secure neighbourhood, ample bird life and easy access to town, the Waterfront and great restaurants. Best part is the AWESOME view over the Knysna lagoon.
Spend a day (or a week) immersed in the beauty of our area while indulging in lazy naps or adventures in nature which is really better than any medicine.

Loved it. It is a very special place with an excellent view. Everything that you need is provided for. It is like a hotel within an airbnb facility. Marie the housekeeper cleaned every day and did our clothes too. The neighborhood was excellent. The dogs and cats were very friendly and it was very luxurious. we had breakfast and snacks for the days we were there. Highly recommended.

Vibha2015-11-14T00:00:00Z

Mark and liz were absolutely amazing. The place was exactly as described and more. The place was very organized, stacked with all sorts of goodies and extremely pleasant to stay at. The area is very nice and close to all the sights. Thank you for a great time.

My partner and I had an amazing time in Knysna this year! We come ever year and this was by far the best accommodation we have had :) Our hosts, Mark and Liz, were wonderful and welcoming. They were always around to help out and give advice. Big bonus for us was that we were able to wash all our sports kit every day after the cycle race events. Was such a pleasant and easy place to stay at for the 4 nights! Definitely recommend this to anyone who is traveling to knysna! Close to the center of town plus the hosts and accommodation don't get better than this!

Mark and Liz are amazing and friendly hosts. On arrival we had a fridge full of goodies (orange juice, milk, water, fruit, eggs, bread, bacon, and more, a bottle of white wine cool and one red) and so on . Moreover, all available for free. 3 days more enjoyable. Do not miss this chance to visit this beautiful place !!!

Jocelyn2016-03-12T00:00:00Z

Mark and Liz were wonderfully warm and generous hosts, and we loved staying in their beautiful place, high on the hill with a fabulous view over the lagoon. From gifting us some fish on our arrival the first evening as their was no time to go out and eat, to giving us a cool-pack to take on the road when we left, they really went the extra mile to make sure that we were comfortable. The unit we stayed in was well appointed and comfortable and we would recommend it to anyone!

Superior s/c ground floor apartment. Close to Sedgefield, 20km from Knysna, is situated on the fresh water Lake Pleasant also well known for Bass fishing . Apart from a large main bedroom with en suite bathroom, it has a lovely kitchen, dining, lounge area with DSTV and air conditioning, The property has rolling green lawns, well established trees, and a beautiful expanse of water to soothe your soul. Secure parking, sparkling swimming pools, and a small gym area will complete your stay.

The apartment is spacious and well appointed with microwave, dishwasher, fridge and freezer in the kitchen, DSTV in both lounge and bedroom and WiFi. A gentle walk across the lush green lawns to the fresh water lake, where you can swim, or just watch the birds glide elegantly across the water. Beautiful walks all around for nature lovers.

Sedgefield is a member of Cittaslow movement, which was founded in Italy.
Our goals are improving the quality of life in our town by slowing down the overall pace, and looking after our community. I believe we do that very well. Even the tortoises love it here.

Awesome stay, neat spacious and well equipped. Beautiful surroundings. Our hosts Adrienne and Mel made our stay comfortable. And were very helpful.

Melissa2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

Adrienne and Mel were incredible hosts! They pretty much helped us come up with a plan of what to see when we were near to Sedgefield! Great tips even before we got there when we emailed before hand. It was easy to communicate with them, and they were very helpful with showing us around the place. The grounds are lovely, situated right onto Lake Pleasant. There are 3 pools (2 outside and 1 inside) which will make you want to spend times at the apartment itself. Nice basic kitchen, with complimentary orange juice and milk! They even gave us a souvenir to take back home. The apartment is massive, with 2 bathrooms and the lounge /kitchen separate from a massive bedroom. Incredibly comfortable bed! We went at low season so has the whole comex to ourselves! Perfect if you want peace and quiet! The area is about 20minutes from Wilderness and 20minutes from Kynsna so we'll situated. However there are some gems in Sedgefield (like Myoli beach at sunset followed by dinner and cocktails at Pili Pili restaurant) or Montecello for the best espetada in the world! Would highly recommend this place to anyone!

The apartment is located in Belvidere Estate which is a peaceful area, with plenty of safe walking trails, easy access to the lagoon and nearby Brenton Beach (6kms). We have a local pub The Bell within walking distance and other nearby restaurants. Knysna Town is 8 kms by car.

John and his wife made us feel very welcome and assisted us with what was going to happen during our week long stay and what places to eat nearby is worth our time. The Private room was modern and had beautiful views of Knysna river. It is a beautiful quiet neighborhood, we loved our stay in John's Apartment.

This is a well-appointed and tastefully decorated cottage with the most spectacular views of Knysna. It is in a very quiet, leafy suburb and I would highly recommend staying here. Our hosts were lovely.

Christine2016-10-16T00:00:00Z

The apartment is a well appointed, comfortable offshoot of a lovely, perfectly positioned home situated in peaceful Belvidere Estate. It has a marvelous view across the Knysna lagoon. The local pub, which serves good food, is a few minutes walk away. There are two excellent restaurants a five minute drive away. Our hosts are very attentive and an absolute pleasure to deal with. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at home. It is a perfect spot for a couple looking for some comfortable peace and tranquility.

Experience the beauty of the garden route in this fourteenth-century french style studio with separate entrance situated in the heart of Knysna. Enjoy outdoor living and abundant bird life from a private patio against the backdrop of an olive grove.
Experience magnificent views of the Knysna Lagoon and Heads, from this
spacious studio with ensuite bathroom and self-catering kitchenette. You will be less than 2.1 km from the Knysna waterfront and all important amenities.

We had an amazing stay at the olive grove and would highly recommend it to anyone considering staying there when visiting Knysna or plett. We received a warm welcome from Laetitia who went through the detail of providing a beautiful cheese platter and wine on arrival. The layout of the room and the view it offered was absolutely amazing and we could not have asked for anything more. This experience made our trip to the area truly special and memorable.

This is one of the loveliest Air BnBs I've stayed in. Very spacious room, elegantly decorated with a fantastic view of the bay and over looking a little olive garden. Laetitia provided welcome snacks and pancakes for breakfast, just little touches like this and Laetitia's warm hospitably made our stay so memorable.

Jessica2017-01-14T00:00:00Z

The Olive Grove is a beautiful apartment with stunning views over Knysna Lagoon. Laetitia is a wonderful host and we would recommend this apartment to anyone visiting the Knysna area.

Graham2017-02-15T00:00:00Z

Laetitia's place is beautiful, highly recommended as a retreat in the hills and only a 5 minute drive from the waterfront for Knysna shops and restaurants. Wonderful views, a lovely apartment and an excellent welcome; Laetitia met us in person and provided a delicious platter and some wine. Can't say enough nice things about this - thank you

Sam2017-02-17T00:00:00Z

Simply 5-star. Laetitia's home is beautiful with fantastic views out over the Lagoon & the Heads. The welcome couldn't have been better and the complimentary bottle of wine and hors d'oeuvres were much appreciated. It was also very nice to be able to spend some time with both Laetitia & Peter before we left and we hope to stay again next time we are in Knysna.

Ray2017-02-08T00:00:00Z

Immaculate and spacious cottage with lovely attention to detail. We were only there for one night but will definitely be back!

Christy2017-01-02T00:00:00Z

Best room ever...we love this place. The view is so beautiful, it is quiet, very clean and Laetitia decorated our room so lovely and served so many things for free...a bottle of white wine, snacks, lemon water was waiting for us. I love your style. Thank you, that you makes our vacation to something special. We will come again!!!

K-Lei2017-03-10T00:00:00Z

The Olive Grove was a lovely place to spend Chrismas. Great views of the waterfront. Great bird songs to listen to and a great base for exploring all that Kynsna and its surrounds have to offer. Laetitia was a lovely host, taking extra care to make sure we had all that we needed for a wonderful holiday.

You won't be far from the lively scene in Knysna but still in a very quiet and special location, wonderful place to recharge! Private terrace and portable braai. Unfortunately our garden and the view towards the valley have suffered from the devastating fires in June '17 but we are rehabilitating the garden and we hope you will support 'Knysna Arise'!

Candice2016-10-02T00:00:00Z

The listing was accurate. My host was there to meet me at the gate. My host lives in Paradise which is a great neighbourhood, safe and located in close proximity to the waterfront.

Stephen2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

Very spacious, private and comfortable with stunning views over the Lagoon. Also enjoyed the odd visits of Christine's lovely dogs. Good Value for money, I will be back!

Wonderful cottage with great view over the lagune. Christine and husband were very helpful and kind. Gave us good tips and we felt very welcome. It was a perfect stay!

Jinny2016-08-23T00:00:00Z

We've had a fantastic time at Christine's, she was very welcoming and advised us very good hikes and restaurants for our stay. The cottage has a truly breathtaking view in a very quiet and safe residential area in Knysna. The studio is very modern and well equipped, extremely clean and comfortable. One of the best Airbnb I have experienced.

Aurelie2016-12-15T00:00:00Z

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Christine's wonderful home. She was incredibly warm and welcoming and gave us some great tips as to what to do in the area - all meaning we had a fantastic time in Knysna. The space was wonderful - it had everything we could have wanted. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom, very clean, and the views, just stunning! We wish we could have stayed longer! Highly recommended to anyone looking to stay in the beautiful town of Knysna.

Gemma2017-01-22T00:00:00Z

Small but mighty, super for 2 persons and the hostess is very friendly.

Lukas2017-01-11T00:00:00Z

We had a great weekend in the cottage. Everything is just as it looks in the pictures, and Christine gave us great suggestions for our short time there. Thanks! :)

A two bed roomed, two bath roomed apartment with an open plan lounge /dining kitchen area which leads onto a large private patio with a Weber BBQ and patio furniture. All of the units are built overlooking the famous Knysna lagoon.

We had two great nights at Jenny's apartment, the apartment is great and the service was impeccable! Just as the dinner "you look we cook" we had with the two and other guests! It was an evening full of fun and very, very tasty food! Many thanks to Albin and Jenny for the great evening! Absolutely recommendable !! :-) Best regards Ines, David and Matthias

We live in a pretty neighborhood, lots of trees and big beautiful gardens. Being on top of the hill we have wonderful views.

My partner and I came for a couple of quiet nights away and found a perfect little retreat with beautiful views and a charming personality. The pictures do not do it justice and we would happily recommend this place to anyone. It has a fantastic bathroom with a bath and shower, and a very comfortable bed. There's a balcony with chairs that is covered, which helped us when it rained the second night. The place is in a quiet neighbourhood about 30 minutes walk from the waterfront where the restaurants are, very easy to nip in and out by car.
